The Fluxcast!

What exactly is The Fluxcast? The Fluxcast might be about video games why not, right? Isn’t every podcast about video games nowadays? It’s a major form of media and a viable example of how we all enjoy wasting our free time. In fact the hosts of this show consume media in the same way you probably do and love to discuss it for your amusement. So does that mean this show is about everything and anything? You could assume as much but we like to think of it as friends across both sides of the pond just chatting. With the occasional euphemism misunderstood by one another due to geographic locations it makes for a fun time. We do love a good e-mail when they’re sent to flux@ninjapancake.com though. Feel free to write in!

Happy James everyone! That’s right Team Britain is back baby! The Paul and James bromance survived an entire ocean which means the show is at full force. If you are worried about whether Jordan was actually executed or not we can happily confirm he wasn’t. That was just a joke, unless you are Thomas and then who knows. I mean did you know that Thomas has harvested 150,000 souls? This is in real life and he isn’t even a ginger! We’re kidding, welcome to Dark Souls everybody. Jordan’s, definitely not, BAE, helps him answer some of our questions whilst he laments over the thought of having an office job. But hey there is always Paul to perk up the mood? Wait what that is not what happens. Oh. Well hopefully Lego Excalibur can save the mood if not maybe just the general discussions of what we have been up to this week? We have spoilers everywhere! See you all next week, different building block time, same channel.

Gin is a wonderful thing, gin is a really cool thing! Basically gin always makes a podcast more fun. We present to you: Exhibit A) this episode. This week James is still in the wind – if anyone has a GPS Tracking Device on him, please let us know his location. This is great news for Jordan though as he gets to fill in again, staying his show execution as it were. We’re getting right into our usual brand of weirdness this week as we discuss some Skyrim mods. Are there ever really enough of those? We also give you the round up on what we’ve been playing since last week. Thomas gives us a novel about his last week, in deep, dark, detail. Daricus made a list and finally finished it and Paul is the Birthday Boy. We’re still into ranked Rainbow Six: Siege but if that doesn’t take your fancy how about a good old talk about fashion trends in Fallout 4? We have a revolutionary discussion regarding some of them and for those looking for that perfect pirate look to rock on the high Summer seas in Maryland then your prayers have been answered. The only issue? You will have to go and find a submarine… See you all next week, different Radroach-time, same Radroach-channel.

What kind of rum only has 15% alcohol? That doesn’t even make sense! That’s honestly not even rum! Behold, the power of friendship! We mean – The Fluxcast! We don’t even know anymore. We have a couple of fill-ins this week helping us keep our ranks bolstered for your listening amusement. We’re doing our usual round-up of what we’ve been playing since the last episode. On top of all that we’re talking the big game. That’s right The Superbowl: The grandfather of all advertising events on television in the entire world and a game where America is consistently crowned the world champion! Spoiler alert, we love it when the goalies score home runs! The week for our listeners we reveal that 99.99% of Britain’s don’t care about Chinese New Year, good job Paul and company way to ruin that statistic. But one thing that gets a consistent 100% approval is a Harry Potter related joke? We Gryffin-dare you to find someone who disagrees! See you all next week, different Hippogriff-time, same Hippogriff-channel.

There’s too many subtitles going on here this week. Welcome to the Guestcast! Everyone is away, at least for the opening fifteen to twenty minutes Daricus we are looking at you here, except for Paul and Thomas but that won’t stop us as we have a special guest. A special guest that’s special in his own special right? Sure, let’s go with that. Ladies and gentlemen please join us in welcoming the special, see what we have done there, fifth member of the crew Jordan. We hope you are hungry this week as we are going to be serving you a veritable smorgasbord of food topics with an equally delectable side of arguments.

Q: Are we allowed to say penis on a podcast or is that just something removed for editing?A: Paul doesn’t really edit stuff so enjoy.

Paul gets paid to sort out your money. Seriously. Who or what allowed this? This week we have three of our usual cast for your listening enjoyment. But unfortunately we were hit with the unforgiving mercy of a bad connection whilst recording. We really do apologize for all of the technical difficulties and issues. Many Bothans actually died getting this episode to your favorite pod-delivery service. All dead. This week we’re talking over our normal shenanigans and also video games, which unfortunately once again means Rainbow Six: Siege. But hey there is ranked mode now to add some variety. James also feels that Thomas should deal with being a good cook. Thomas however is only concerned with the things that make our lives easier but then seemingly fail – He seems to be having a bad week. A bad week filled with texts involving words we can’t mention here. You could however listen to them! See you all next week, different internet provider, same channel.

We promise we’re not a Theology podcast. Well, at least not yet, anyway. Prepare for Podcast Boogaloo! Our usual cast of characters are all on time this week, it must be a January miracle! But now we have said that is it characters or personas? It isn’t important just perplexing. This week we’re recalling our time spent with games this week. Spoiler alert there’s an awful lot of Rainbow Six: Siege going on. However whilst we are on the topic of video games have you ever asked on a scale from one to Iron Banner how bad is the lag in a multiplayer game? We have and it is worrying. Outside of that as it turns out Thomas is a master of all the stages of grief. Good job to vocational training courses, America! Grief not your thing? How about a large Wang? Just speak to James to find out how exciting and enjoyable they can be! Also the core mystery of this show gets slightly clearer. Yes you can now be like us and find out whether Daricus is black or not. See you all next week with a different time blame lag, same channel.

What is that? A tent made of flesh?! This week we’re bringing you our Year in Gaming Preview. Interested in what we can’t wait to play? Great! If you’re not though, are you at least interested in Global Warming? Perfect. It’s only January but in the UK people are already buying sun cream? This should be terrifying but to us it just means deciding on whether the summer pants can come out yet or not! In this episode we find out James is going away for a little. Thomas poses the question: Will Paul and James’ bromance survive a long distance relationship? We’re also super worried about John Cena not being able to compete in Wrestlemania but only for meme reasons. We promise there’s a lot of gaming talk as well this week. Just remember: Chain Lightning is sick. See you next week, different attire, same channel!
